Clean Energy Potential in Southland Cook County
Clean Energy Potential in Southland Cook County

Rooftop Solar and Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Southland Cook County, IL

August 01, 2024

To help the Chicago suburban region achieve their clean energy goals as a means to realizing
equitable and sustainable outcomes, ELEVATE has been working with the five municipalities. To
develop comprehensive plans, quantitative data about their energy, climate, health, and
economy are necessary.
However, the five municipalities have very little data to work from and
need both to understand their current situation and how the community could develop in the
future. To promote the climate prioritization efforts, Greenlink was engaged in the data
collection and analytics providing information about existing community electricity usage, clean
energy potentials, emissions benefits, job creation potentials, the distribution of various
economic, social, and health-associated burdens.

Energy Burden Impacts: Florida in Focus

March 2023

On average, households nationally pay about 4.1% of their income on energy (gas and electricity) bills. As of 2019, Jacksonville’s average energy burden is 4.3% in 2019, .2% higher than the national average. However, the energy burden is not distributed evenly across neighborhoods. When energy burden is mapped across the city, data shows that it disproportionately impacts residents in the Northern and Central portions of the city.
